Deer Greek and SuSquehanna Railroad
TO THE PEOPLE OF HARTFORD.

The Incorporators OF the d. c. & S. r. r.. re-
cognizng as they have from the beginning, that
the success of this en- Enterprise depends upon the
measure of peeuniary support it may receive
from the people, resolved at their last meeting
to 9s t9 fhe Pe9 ,s OF mar9rd
an object of great interest to the whole commu-
nifty, that the material resources of our county
Of the community will be furthered ana trade
add enterprise stimulated, we have endeavored
for your careful Consideration. Our solicitor
has now canvassed the whole route and reports
that he has received subscriptions to the capital
stock TO the amount OF only $3l,3j0. This
amount is entirely inadequate to justify any
movement towards the accomplishment OF our
purpose-it Is not half the amount we expected
ould be subscribed. A large number OF the
persons directly interested 10 the building Of
this road have not subscribed at ALL and the ma
jority of those who have subscribed have not
taken the number Of shares that their ability
and the direct pecuniary benefits they would re-
We must repeat that there Is no other way 10
get this road except for the people to subscribe
sufficient amount of stock TO enable the COM
pany to organize and to issue bonds upon such
basis of capital stock as Will induce one Of the
railroads TO endorse the bonds, and SO raise suf-
hcient funds for the construction OF the road.
Both the Is. & U. and the Pennsylvania r. K.
have eviuced an interest in this enterprise, but
neither Of them has held out any, prospect Of
practical support unless We could furnish $4,000
of capital stock and the right OF way. This we
believed at the beginning we could do, and this
we believe we can do now, II each individual TO
be benefited will carefully estimate the money
value OF the advantages he will receive from the
railroad and will subscribe to the extent OF one
ha that value.
1t is useless to say there is not enough money
In the county to build this road. There is enough
money to subscribe the amount necded toinsure
the building Of the road and the subscription of
that amount will draw to the county, to be i'm
mediately expended in the construction of the
ad, several times that amount, while ultimate
ly there can be no doubt 1t will draw much
wealth to the whole section. Wesay, therefore,
to all interested-and we say IL In all earnest
ness aud sincerity-this road can not be built
without your support. We have decided to send
our Solicitor to make one more canvas of the
whole section, and we earnestly ask each person
TO subscribe at once such nu amount as the adj
,anages he will derive from the road will justify
Upon the result of this canvass depends the Ire
death of this enterprise Ii sufficient encour-
Hsement is not to be given. those who are now
expanding their time and money in advancing
this project should know IL. aud the sooner con-
clusion IS reached the better for all concerned.
All persons desiring to hear further discussion
who can be present at the public meetings adver-
tised in this issue.
Respectfully submitted,
